System Check Warnings

System Check reported issues that could impact how you continue with the installation. In most cases, you should be able to proceed with SOLIDWORKS Installation Manager.

The warnings you can encounter at this stage are listed below with suggestions about how to proceed.

Serial Number Validation Problems

The Installation Manager was not able to check for new versions because it could not validate your serial number. If you are connected and entered a valid serial number, this could indicate a temporary problem on our server. Try again later.

Serial Number Validation: The Installation Manager could not validate your serial number to determine which products you are entitled to install. You will still be able to choose the products you want to install, but you will not be able to download any installation files. You will need to provide a complete set of download source files or a DVD from which to install.

Resolution:
  • Check the internet connection. The serial number check requires a valid internet connection.
  • Check that the serial number you entered is valid for the products you are trying to install.
  • Some installations require that you have a valid subscription in place at the time the version was released. For details, consult your SOLIDWORKS reseller.
  • In most cases, you can proceed with the installation, provided you are installing from a DVD or a previously downloaded file set.

You will still be able to choose the products you want to install, but you will not be able to download any installation files. You need to provide source files on DVD or a previously downloaded file set.
